The Howth Peninsula and Irelands Eye, Co. Dublin.
The island was often referred to as "Irelands Tear" as it was the last place seen by immigrants as they were leaving.

Ireland's rugged west coast, splintered by the Atlantic's tireless persistence, is peppered with peninsulas, ports and tiny islands and is home to the famous Wild Atlantic Way route.
This is National Tree Week here in Ireland {5th of March onwards} where we celebrate
our trees. We havent got many but thankfully since 2000 they have started planting more of our native hardwood species and less of those horrid Norway Spruce that block out light from the forest floor and prevent all the wonderful undergrowth, fungii and wild flowers from growing. Of course they are a commercial crop and vital for the economy. Indeed, Coilte, the forestry people here do great work as they allow access through there land and plantations to access the trails and mountain tracks which I love so much.
I dont think theres is anything more wonderful than Oak trees.
This tree which is an Irish Oak [Quercus Petraea] is reckoned to be over 400 years old and is growing in the Powerscourt Valley, near the waterfall here in Co. Wicklow. The ground and the humidity seems to suit them better than the more common English Oak [Quercus Robur] which are also magnificent trees.
I would really love to see more of your tree photos here on Flickr as the truly are such beautiful things.
Do hope you like it! Catch up with you later,

It's said that if you hit the snowflake projected on the abandoned bank building at precisely 88 miles per hour, you'll be hurled back in time to the days when Ballinrobe Ireland was a lively town with over 30 pubs for 3,000 people. So far, nobody's gone farther than the window into the basement. Perhaps it's due to people trying to convert MPH to kilometres on the fly, as that's how Ireland measures distances in modern times.
Ballybunnion Castle, County Kerry, Ireland. Overlooking the mouth of the Shannon as it meets the Atlantic. In the far distance, the cost of County Clare running to Loop head.
Thanks to Nigel for the title! Clochan Pier, Mayo, Ireland - A revised edit of a photo posted back in November. Matching my mood today; pulled a groin muscle yesterday, and I'm sore and cranky.
Happy St Patrick's Day to All

INITHIUM IRISH BEAUTY PASTIES FOR KUPRA AND KUPS BODIES

Ireland
These are just a few of the images taken in Ireland from three trips in 2015, 2017 and 2018. That was a wonderful experience for us both. My In-Laws live in West Mayo and that Atlantic coast is just a spectacular place to visit. A real treat.
I went for a walk on different road today & spotted this abandoned house. The door was open, I can see that red wall....beautiful.
Ardara near Glenties, County Donegal, Ireland
I found this little lake & jetty in the middle of nowhere off the beaten path. It is an amazing little gem very quiet with not a single other person in sight, I actually just sat here at this scene for over half an hour just relaxing and thinking.
Hope you enjoy! Please favourite & add me as a contact to view my newest upcoming works, Thank you
